The Minnesota Vikings have won 13 of their 15 games this season, which is a historic number for both quarterback Sam Darnold and head coach Kevin O’Connell.

Minnesota defeated the Seattle Seahawks 27-24 in thrilling fashion, as Darnold hit wide receiver Justin Jefferson for a 39-yard go-ahead touchdown with just 30 seconds to play. The quarterback finished the day 22-of-35 passing for 246 yards and 3 TDs. Those numbers offered a significant boost to Darnold’s already impressive production on the year, during which he has now thrown for 3,776 yards, 32 TDs and 11 INTs.

His statistics have Darnold residing at the very top of second-tier NFL Most Valuable Player candidates with the likes of quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jared Goff as well as running back Saquon Barkley. In other years, Darnold’s stats and his team’s success might have him closer to the award, though it appears to remain a two-man race between quarterback Lamar Jackson and frontrunner Josh Allen.

Still, Darnold is making history this season in ways that neither Allen or Jackson ever has — in part because neither player has ever switched teams in their respective professional careers. Darnold, however, has played for four franchises across his seven-year career and became just the third QB ever to win 13 or more games in his first campaign with a new team.

The only two signal callers to accomplish that feat before Darnold did so on Sunday are Peyton Manning with the Denver Broncos (13-3) in 2012 and the late Steve McNair (13-3) with the Baltimore Ravens in 2006.
